Invitation to Darfur Rally in Vancouver, April 30, 2006 from 12 pm-5 pm
We invite you to the first Darfur Rally in Vancouver planned for April 30th from 12 pm-5pm at the Vancouver Art Gallery. Our organization, Canadian Students for Darfur (CSFDarfur) is founded and operated by students whose mission is to increase public awareness throughout Canada about the ongoing crisis in Darfur, fundraise to assist aid agencies working in Darfur and urge the Canadian government to become further involved in resolving the crisis.
Since the conflict began in 2003, over 400,000 people have died and over 2.5 million people driven from their homes, largely as a result of the government-backed Janjaweed militia. Countless civilians now face death from starvation and disease because the government of Sudan and militias prevent humanitarian aid from reaching them.
Regards.
